Mumbai skipper Ajinkya Rahane reckons that his Mumbai teammate and India T20 all-rounder Shivam Dube is on the right track; just needing to work on a few areas to upgrade his red-ball skills. “Shivam is doing well. He fared well in the [recent] T20I series against Afghanistan, so he has the ability. I feel there are areas he can improve on in red-ball cricket.

“In four-day matches, five-day matches you have to be consistent, you have to see the conditions and situations and adapt accordingly. Every day, every session is different because the situations change a lot in the longer format. I am happy that he is on the right track and he is working hard on his fitness and cricketing skills,” Rahane said in reply to mid-day’s query about Dube’s calibre to play in the longer format, after Mumbai’s thumping win over Assam.
